Having portable units that can simply be rolled in and switched on gives us great flexibility in being able to immediately begin monitoring a patient who has been assessed by our nurses as at elevated risk of falling. We are using this throughout our hospitals, from intensive care to the emergency department to our telemetry units and regular inpatient rooms – anywhere we see a need.

The AvaSure Symposium was Awesome! The venue was beautiful and the conference was well organized and compelling. Presenters were passionate about the Telesitter program and the impact it has on patient safety. Poster Sessions were informative and evidence based. The extra-curricular activities were fun and entertaining, the museum, the carousel, ArtPrize, and breweries were all great experiences. Overall, it was great learning and perfect timing for UNMH to implement the program in October. AvaSure has been extremely supportive with expert advice and kindness. I’m looking forward to the 2nd annual Symposium : )

It is so rewarding when you see somebody at risk trying to get up, and you use the audio to intervene right away. You have prevented a patient from falling and possibly getting hurt. The patients are really listening to you.

During the symposium, it was instilled in my mind that when there is one camera not in use, it meant that there is one more patient who is not being watched and kept safe.  Today, I can proudly say that we have gone from an average 50% utilization to 100% with a waiting list AND staff engagement has improved!
